[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] CDnNC:
:D Ok, so I finally did it, I flashed a cooked ROM to my Fuze. Whew! I did run into a snag or two, but all is good now and I am even ready to try another one to see some of the differences.

I do have a couple of questions though. Flame me if you must, I can take the heat. However, trust me when I say, I read everything on this site.

1. I chose a "no manilla" version...why did it still have to do the "initial setup of touchflo interface..."? I thought Manilla was TouchFlo and therefore wouldn't need to be there at all. Since I really like SPB MS3, I didn't want anything TouchFlo.

2. I would like to try an NRG ROM, but I still can't quite grasp what customRUU is. Am I free to flash one of these with just the HardSPL that I already did? Or do I need somethign else before flashing one that has this in the folder?

3. Since I am still trying to catch up with what's available out there now...what the heck is CHome? At first, I thought someone mispelled that Google browser thing, but soon figured out that can't be it.

Welcome to the wonderful and addictive world of customized ROMs. It's one of the best ways to get the most from your Raphael, but sometimes we see things that 'aren't quite right' since they haven't gone through the rigor that vendors put their ROMs through. But then again, we get to play with the new, neat stuff!!!

As I understand it, Manila is HTC's interface/Today skin for the Raphael. You don't have to use it, but most ROM's will have it cooked in, so you'll need to go through the 'setup' as the ROM is first booted on your machine. If you don't want to use it, just go to the Today screen settings and de-select the TF entry.

CustomRUU is the application you run to do the actual install from a PC. There's no need to play with it all, just run it, and everything should happen automagically. There's also an option to run the install from a loaded SD card on the unit itself, but I stick to the Activesync connection version myself.

Sorry, can't help with CHome... I have no idea what that is either.

As I said -- welcome!
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Farmer Ted:
Therefore you are?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
ASFAIK, CHome is the new Today interface for Windows Mobile 6.5.

Do you mean the Stylus Alignment? If so, you should always perform a stylus/screen alignment.

Do you mean the G-Sensor Calibration? If so, you should perform the calibration; although you may not use TF3D, many application can "leverage" the G-Sensor capabilities of the device.

HTH,
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] drtolson:
I thought that was 'Titanium':confused:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] TweakMyDevice:
congratulations
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] hilaireg:
Here ya go:

ConfettiCore is the underlying display component shared between Start Menu and Today screen.

CHome is the Today screen itself.

Titanium is the skin; alternatives are Bronze, Neo.

HTH,

* EDIT *

Thanks Da_G for your ever so wonderful wisdom and knowledge about all that is Windows Mobile ... ;)
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] dwmackay:
CHome and Titanium are somewhat interchangable. They both refer to the new 6.5 "Default" interface. If you have CHome installed on your ROM, go to Start>Settings>Today>Items and check "Windows Default". Everything else will uncheck itself. Now you can see CHome in action. CHome is new and ofcourse not yet released by Microsoft, so it is not flawless. Showaco has made a great tool for editing CHome so that you can control what is on the today screen. It takes bit of playing to figure it out, but give it a go. I really have become hooked on the simple effeciency of CHome.

As for the Initial Setup of Touch Flow, this is a left over from a previous ROM. Most of the ROM chefs, do not bother changing the set-up screens because they do not matter. They are simply something to display while the phone configures itself. Other Chefs seem to enjoy changing this screen, so results may vary. In any event, no need to worry.

RUU is the wrapper that installs your ROM image on the phone. When you download a rom and unzip it into a folder, there usually are 2 files, the RUU and the NBH file. The NBH file is the real ROM image. The RUU or Wrapper is what installs it to the phone. If you unzip a ROM and the wrapper is missing, simply copy it from a different ROM you have unzipped and add it to the folder with teh NBH file you want to flash. The RUU/Wrapper does not change from ROM to ROM, only the NBH changes. With both the RUU and the NBH in a folder, launch the RUU and it will load the ROM in that folder.

HARD SLP is the first step that will allow you to Flash Custom ROMS. AFTER you Hard SPL according to the directions, choose a ROM, download, unzip and launch the wrapper. You must be attached via activesync. After that, off you go.

Enjoy. Every ROM is like getting a new phone.

Charlotte?

DAMN! For months, I had been thinking "if only one of these XDA guys lived here, he could show me how to do this and I wouldn't be terrified of bricking my phone"...and here you are?!?!?
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] Cal-El:
Actualy, Titanium is the base WM 6.5 user interface\homescreen, chome refers to the dll plugin being utilized by Titanium. chome was ported from the WM 6.1 slidding panels interface made for smartphones and has been optimized by Showaco and others to offer more pluggin options with Titanium!

Manila 3D is HTC's user interface it is used in conjuction with touchflo but they are different things kind of, touchflo just refers to being able to scroll with your fingers and how the physics engine operates.

RUU stands for ROM Update Utility, it creates a bridge to your bootloader from your PC to flash through Active Sync\ Device Manager.

Hope this helps some! :)

Hello,

Today I got an error from Windows mobile (just a few minutes ago) and it says that there are some files damaged. So I cannot start Skype again and Resco Bubbles, it tells me that I should reinstall this. That is fine with me but I don't know of there are more programs affected... Also, is there a way to get it fixed without reinstalling it? (Today I didn't install anything).

I have a Bluetooth car set (integrated) in my toyota.

The problem is that i can't play music on it.

But i noticed one thing.... by mistake while talking to another person, i hit the play songs on my media player, (i was listening to songs b4 the call), and the songs started playing on my bluetooth car set.

Is there any kind of virtual call software that makes the phone think it is in a call, so the sound is transmitted to my bluetooth audio car set?

I want to use it for songs etc....

thnx in advance....

hi all,

how can i connect to internet on my home computer thru my xperia???
[XPERIA X1 General] Firefall!:
YOu have to connect it via USB. Then in your programs folder (on X1) you open Internet Sharing and follow the "instructions". That's it. If you want to share internet via WLAN or BT, you need additional software. (At least for WLAN, not sure about Bluetooth - but BT is crap anyway).

[General Questions and Answers] cooin:
Hello, guys :) ...I was looking for a site with dedicated members well grounded in technology, and pda areas and finally found it.

Just registered here and have my first question. Im getting a smartphone. Suppose I prefer WM based pda-s, no matter the fact I have never had one before. So now I'm wondering which one to buy. The choice is between these two : HTC Touch Diamond 2 and SE Xperia X1. I don't know any of what their hardware parameters mean (processor, memory and etc.) or which one is better. That is the reason why I'm posting this now. To myself I suppose it would be better to have a hardware buttons, D-pad and qwerty keyboard like X1's but really like the more fingertip oriented TouchFlo on HTC. Well, I know from the forum that I can have it eventually on SE X1, so the SE Panels are already taking advantage over HTC. However, X1`s camera performance is way too low and it doesn't have an accelerometer which I think would be rather useful despite the fact the screen rotates when the slider is opened. Have read many reviews and watched many videos with both devices but still can`t decide which one to take. I need my future phone for surfing the internet, skype (mostly using wifi), music, videos and also entertainment like gaming cause everybody get bored sometimes :) and it's good to have some cool and glossy games... Well. that's from me so I'll be really thankful if you share your opinion and give me a piece of advise.

P.M. - My apologies if I've made some mistakes in the text but English is not my native language...:o

[General Questions and Answers] slick69:
How about Touch Pro 2?
[General Questions and Answers] cooin:
Well, the more I read, the less I know which to take. :rolleyes: The question really is do I need a hardware keyboard and its answer maybe is "yes".

About the touch pro 2...I have taken it into consideration but Im sure it going to be pretty expensive when it pops up. In addition it's kinda of bulky and bigger than the X1 and even heavier according to the official info on it. I'll still continue to look around and keep an eye on this forum and the sections about D2 and X1 and have my decision in the very last moment ;) - I'm getting one of them at the end of the next month so I still have some time to think about that. Yet, I suppose X1 would be my new future buddy :) Thanks to all of you :)
[General Questions and Answers] samy.3660:
dont buy X1, coz its kinda poor built and laggy, i have a good experience in wm, and thus far after using X1, diamond, wizard, touch, omnia. I find Omnia to be the best, fastest, and fully working it has all the decent features and its 5 megapixel camera with flash actually works, but it doesnt have support on this site. I will recommend you to see several other brands other than HTC before zeroing on any device.

I wonder if anyone can help?

Im am trying to set the SD Card as the default storage location for everything.

Especially My Documents.

Advanced Config Manager has various options but I read this doesnt work?

Can anyone point me to the right solution?

Many Thanks
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfvilela:
Advance config works, I did it yesterday.

But first you have to install CF .net 3.5 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E3821449-3C6B-42F1-9FD9-0041345B3385)

Then install shapp's advance config v3.3 (http://www.touchxperience.com/en/advanced-configuration-tool/downloads.html)

Algum software precisa da v3.5 em vez da v2.0 que vem com a ROM de origem.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Themes and Apps] Pirreballo:
I've tryed both Diamond Tweak and HD Tweak. http://www.montecristoff.com/

I'm not sure that these two Softwares fully functioning for Diamond2! :confused:

For example the substitution of the applications for the softkeys does not translate into the default language (Calendar=Calendar), the sensitivity of touch, speed of animation remains unchanged and GPS in photos I don't know if it works (does GPSphoto appears as key in the screen that enables him?).

The volume bar remains to the default HTC and not in windows default.

So perhaps we should wait a Tweak Diamond2 for greater compatibility!

In conclusion I uninstalled both tweaks! :D

What you think and what experiences do you have?

Putting on .net compact framework is a 2 part thing. You have to install 3.5 and then get your device to recognise 3.5 for applications that want to use it. A second program (cab) will do this for you. All is explained here compelte with the 2 files you need.....

ACT 3.3 works quite good. I didn't change any photo-setting so I didn't recognize any failure there.. Most other tweaks should work. Do a registry backup before trying too much ;)

Diamond Tweak changed all setings I tryed out.. So there shouldn't be too many problems using it :)

But be patient when changing TF3D settings... We have a newer version on our devices. The apps came out before TF3D2 was released :)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] corruptpc:
i have had no problems before, i flashed a couple roms in it before, but in the end, i kept very lightly modded rom very close to OEM rom for the tilt that i got from here. all was well for months and months.. until now.

i noticed that the phone will lose signal. and not detect a sim card anymore. at first i thought it was sim. so i tried it on my other tilt (i have 2) and i determined that its the phone.

if i restart it, it works for about 1 min or less if im lucky.. then i have to to go comm. manager, turn off phone signal, and turn it back on, usually, that does the trick. but now, that wont even work anymore.

the only way to get the sim recognized again is if i slide the phone out, go to comm. manager, turn off phone and turn back on, and LEAVE the phone slided out. once i slide the phone back in, it will not detect the sim. ive tried diff. spl, different roms, and searched before i came back here.

ive had it for over a year, have broken the screen and messed up keyboard by closing hood of my car on it, :eek:

but ive fixed it. and that was long ago. maybe this new problem is because of this.:confused: if someone had similar problems, let me know what you did. or if anyone can point me into the next direction. i guess ill have to crack it open again. :mad:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jabberman:
I had a similiar issue where my phone would turn on ok, then lose signal and then get the no sim card error (dialer screen). What I ended up doing was taking a piece of tape and put it on the back of the sim card then slid it into the holder and locked it. (It was a thick metal tape, if you use scotch tape I recommend using a few pieces). Once I did that I havent had another problem with it. Its a pain to get the sim out of the phone because it ruins the tape but I would rather deal with that than not have my phone work correctly.

Let me know if that works for ya.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] corruptpc:
i see. so it seems that your problem was that the sim shifted out of place sometimes... i will try that. hope it works. its so odd that my sim card dissapears when i close my tilt
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] asrrin29:
I just recently had a similar problem and I finally figured out it was a bad contact with the SIM card. you can either use the tape trick, or if you have a steady hand, take a thin object (such as a paper clip or glasses screwdriver) and very gently lift the contacts up underneath of where the sim card goes. they may have been pushed down due to abnormal pressure exerted on the back of your phone, I think that's what happened to mine.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] corruptpc:
thanks for your help. the sim contact issue was the first thing i suspected, AND tried. i used a needle. i raised the level of each of the 8 contacts making sure the sim will make contact with each pin. but the problem remains.

i will try this again. to double check. i will respond with the results
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] corruptpc:
i tried pushing the pins up a little bit again, i still have the same problem

*but now i have an update, it seems that the sim card stops being detected right before i actually fully slide the phone back in. for examplle, before the slide-in tone is played, and before the screen tilts back.

i already took it apart for a look inside, everything seems fine. and i dnt really know wht to look for.

:(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] BrokenPixel:
Hi,

was reading about ur issue, just tought on jumping into the wagon, I suspect it might be the flex cable that connects the sim to the motherboard, if there is such cable, i haven't opened my kaiser yet but my Pioneer car radio has this flex cable issue when the drive is closed the screen turns on and the whole radio but as soon as you press eject (the face will scroll and unveil the cd slot) the radio actually turns off and i have to move the face back to its original position in order to work. At the end I took the flex cable out and 1/4 of it was teared, in the end I had to order a new part :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] corruptpc:
thanks so much for your help. i guess there is nothing left to do but to take it all apart. somewhat blindly. at least i know what to look for. bad cables, contacts... im clueless as to whether it can be a bad grounding issue? :confused: or a short. i dnt know. i guess i may be the first one to experience a problem like this on a tilt.

so i will do my best to get this problem resolved. and maybe include some pictures if it is intereting enough :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tolikkozak:
my tilt totally stopped recognizing the sim.. it first happened when i dropped it and had to keep it open to keep contact.. then i was sitting with it open and tilted up, it fell and closed somehow and now the sim isnt there at all... i guess something is disconnected or whatever, im afraid to take it apart, but its either that or a paper weight.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] burtcom:
For the original poster -- that fact that it works when the keyboard is in one position but not the other indicates that it is likely a bad flex cable.
